Apple Crisp

(Honestly, this is my most favorite fruit dish/dessert at the time. I could eat it at every meal if my husband would let me!)

4 medium tart cooking apples (Greening, Rome, Grany Smith..I use Gala), sliced
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup all-purpose flour (self-rising can be used, and I prefer that because it adds some salt)
1/2 cup quick-cooking or old-fashioned oats
1/3 cup butter or margarine, softened (I use Brummel & Brown Yogurt butter- it's 1/2 the fat)
3/4 tsp. ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp. ground nutmeg
cream or ice cream, if desired

  1. Heat oven to 375 F. Grease bottom and sides of 8-inch square pan.
  2. Spread apples in pan. In medium bowl, stir remaining ingredients except cream until well mixed (should resemble crumbles or peas); sprinkle over apples.
  3. Bake about 30 minutes or until topping is golden brown and apples are tender when pierced with a fork. Serve warm with cream.
